Interface. In the present embodiment, the personal identification numbers input to the personal identification number input unit 43 are assigned different numbers unique to the users of the vehicle 100A and the vehicle 100B.

  After the pallet lowering signal DS is generated by the lowering operation unit 41, the security code assigned to the user of the vehicle 100A is input to the security code input unit 43, whereby the authentication signal CS is generated.

  Similarly, after the pallet raising signal US is generated by the raising operation unit 42, the password assigned to the user of the vehicle 100B is input to the password number input unit 43, whereby the authentication signal CS is generated.

  The operation button 44 generates a movement request signal MS for raising the pallet 12 in the upward direction U or lowering the pallet 12 in the downward direction D. While the operation button 44 is being pressed, the movement request signal is generated. MS is continuously generated.

  The emergency stop button 45 is used to stop the raising and lowering of the pallet 12 in an emergency. When the emergency stop button 45 is pressed while the movement request signal MS is generated by pressing the operation button 44, the movement request signal An emergency stop signal ST that cuts off the generation of the MS is generated.

  The pallet operating unit 40 having such a configuration is connected to the control unit 50.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 50 includes an input control unit 51, an operation control unit 52, and a motor control unit 53 to which the input control unit 51 and the operation control unit 52 are connected as main components.

  Next, the operation of the mechanical parking facility 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

  In a state where the vehicle 100B is not stored in the lower storage unit 30 of the parking unit 10-1, when the user of the vehicle 100A stored in the upper storage unit 20 leaves the vehicle 100A, first, the user starts with the engine of the vehicle 100A. The start key is inserted into the key input unit 41 a in the lowering operation unit 41 of the pallet operation unit 40.

  When the engine start key is inserted into the key input unit 41a, a pallet lowering signal DS is generated, and the pallet lowering signal DS is input to the input control unit 51 of the control unit 40.

  Thereafter, when the user inputs the password assigned to the user of the vehicle 100A to the password input unit 43, an authentication signal CS is generated, and this authentication signal CS is input to the input control unit 51 of the control unit.

  When the lowering control signal DC is generated in the input control unit 51 by the pallet lowering signal DS and the authentication signal CS input to the input control unit 51, the lowering control signal DC is transmitted to the motor control unit 53.

  At this time, when the user presses the operation button 44, a movement request signal MS is generated while the user presses the operation button 44, and the movement request signal MS is transmitted to the motor control unit 53 via the operation control unit 52.

  In the motor control unit 53, a downward movement request signal DM is generated by the downward control signal DC and the movement request signal MS, and this downward movement request signal DM is transmitted to the pallet drive motor 13.

  When the descending movement request signal DM is input, the pallet driving motor 13 rotates forward or reversely, so that the pallet 12 on which the vehicle 100A is mounted descends. At this time, when the user stops pressing the driving button 44, the pallet 12 stops descending according to the position where the pressing of the driving button 44 is stopped.

  When the user continues to press the operation button 44 and the pallet 12 reaches the lowered position B, the pallet 12 stops descending. As a result, the vehicle 100A is positioned at the loading / unloading position X set on the floor 2.

  On the other hand, in the state where the pallet 12 is stopped at the lowered position B, in order to store the vehicle 100B in the lower storage unit 30, the user of the vehicle 100B first operates the pallet operation on the engine start key of the vehicle 100B. It is inserted into the key input part 42 a in the ascending operation part 42 of the part 40.

  When the engine start key is inserted into the key input unit 42a, a pallet rising signal US is generated, and the pallet rising signal US is input to the input control unit 51 of the control unit 40.

  Thereafter, when the user inputs the personal identification number assigned to the user of the vehicle 100B to the personal identification number input unit 43, an authentication signal CS is generated, and the authentication signal CS is input to the input control unit 51 of the control unit.

  When the rising control signal UC is generated in the input control unit 51 by the pallet rising signal US and the authentication signal CS input to the input control unit 51, the rising control signal UC is transmitted to the motor control unit 53.

  At this time, when the user presses the operation button 44, a movement request signal MS is generated while the user presses the operation button 44, and the movement request signal MS is transmitted to the motor control unit 53 via the operation control unit 52.

  In the motor control unit 53, an ascending movement request signal UM is generated by the ascending control signal UC and the movement request signal MS, and this ascending movement request signal UM is transmitted to the pallet driving motor 13.

  When the ascent movement request signal UM is input, the pallet driving motor 13 is rotated forward or reversely to raise the pallet 12. At this time, when the user stops pressing the driving button 44, the pallet 12 stops rising according to the position where the pressing of the driving button 44 is stopped.

  When the pallet 12 reaches the lift position A by continuously pressing the operation button 44, the pallet 12 stops rising. As a result, the vehicle 100B can be stored in the lower storage unit 30, and the vehicle 100B is mounted on the floor 2 and stored in the lower storage unit 30, whereby the vehicle 100B is positioned at the loading / unloading position X. The

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the engine start key of the vehicle 100A is inserted into the key input unit 41a of the lowering operation unit 41, the movement request signal MS generated by pressing the driving button 44 is moved downward. The pallet 12 can be lowered by changing to the request signal DM.

  On the other hand, when the engine start key of the vehicle 100B is inserted into the key input unit 42a of the ascending operation unit 42, the movement request signal MS generated by pressing the operation button 44 is transformed into the ascending movement request signal UM, and the pallet 12 is changed. Can be raised.

  Therefore, whether the movement request signal MS is transmitted to the pallet drive motor 13 when the operation button 44 is pressed is by a user who enters / exits the vehicle 100A in / from the upper storage unit 20, or enters / exits the vehicle 100B into / from the lower storage unit 30. Therefore, it is possible to clearly distinguish whether it is caused by the user who performs the operation, so that it is possible to ensure the safety when the pallet 12 is raised and lowered, and to suppress erroneous operations.

  In addition, when the personal identification number assigned to each of the users of the vehicle 100A and the vehicle 100B is assigned to the personal identification number input unit 43, the descending operation unit 41 generates the pallet lowering signal DS. It is possible to authenticate that it is executed by the user and that the generation of the pallet raising signal US by the raising operation unit 42 is executed by the user of the vehicle 100B.

  Therefore, it is possible to reliably ensure safety when raising and lowering the pallet 12 and suppress erroneous operations.

  Furthermore, the introduction of the mechanical parking facility 10 is facilitated by adopting a versatile authentication method of inputting a personal identification number assigned to each individual user of the vehicle 100A and the user of the vehicle 100B.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of invention. In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which the pallet operation unit 40 is provided with the code number input unit 43 for inputting the code number assigned to each of the user of the vehicle 100A and the user of the vehicle 100B. However, the authentication operation unit is not limited to the password input unit 43, and various configurations can be employed.

  For example, an authentication card in which user information for authenticating that the user is stored is assigned to each of the user of the vehicle 100A and the user of the vehicle 100B, and the user information stored in the authentication card is read. An operation unit can also be employed.

  Furthermore, an authentication operation unit that performs so-called biometric authentication that registers fingerprints and irises of individual users of the vehicle 100A and the user of the vehicle 100B in advance and reads the fingerprints and irises may be employed.
